Judging a book by its cover.....



The other day I was looking out my sliding glass door and saw a huge cloud of birds flying.  As I watched I was struck by the gracefulness of their flight as a whole, it was like ballet in the sky, and I realized that once more I was watching a flock of Pelicans.  Yes, they are still here, and I have never seen anything so beautiful in flight as a flock of Pelicans.

To look at them, I'm not sure any of us would believe that they could actually get airborne, let alone fly well, and certainly not in the way that they do.

And one more time I realized as I was standing there marveling at the beauty, I did not grab my camera in time to capture their flight on video.

Hopefully I will have the opportunity soon, as their beauty is something I would love to be able to share.  The still pictures included here simply do not do justice to the beauty of their flight......
